Shape some of the extra cake into an ellipse - this is going to be your flame6. Insert flame into top of cake using toothpicks7. Frost the cake in white frosting8. Dye about a 1/4 cup of the frosting yellow9. Frost the flame yellow10. Along the bottom of the cake, make a border of circles (or beads) using tip #12 and white frosting11. Dye about 1/2 a cup of frosting a dark purple12. Dye about 1/2 a cup of frosting a light purple13. Using tip #47 (the flat side up) create stripes of alternating color 14. Using tip #5 and the dark purple frosting, outline your stripes

Note: To make the stripes use tip #47. Make two lines of the same color next to each other (flat side of tip #47 up). Use the spatula to smooth out the two lines. Then move onto the next stripe in the other color. Alternate colors back and forth.
